Yes, I'm like a bad penny turning up, but I was greeted by everyone I know who is still with the firm like the prodigal coming home.
I cannot wait to spend my lunch hours walking along the waterfront! Not to mention the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Plaza on Tuesdays. Acme Bread in the Ferry Building and Boulevard on Steuart (or Spear, I can't remember).

I know that the fantastic location has been a help to me, and it will be even better when my office moves this coming fall. We're moving more 'downtown' and will be closer to the commuter train stop. We'll also be in the more 'cosmopolitan' area, and there will be a lot to see and do within walking distance, plus the gas savings. I'm stoked!
Again, congrats and the new-old job!

I think they did. I ended up leaving work early. Luckily, the most crazy of the bunch had a problem that was actually not my fault, and I could just get the help we needed and set him on the right path - but - he really freaked me out. I'm new... be nice to the new girl, right?
Sorry your day was so bizarre...

I'm increasingly shocked by the writing I see. Luckily, I'll soon be handling much of the copy that comes out of my company, along with my boss, an English major who is buried under a bajillion projects and is stoked to have someone to be able to pass these sorts of projects off to.
BTD's mention of micromanaging was interesting. Depending on the person I find it can be good and/or bad for me. In this case, I think my direct boss and I are on the same page in deciding to create a style guide for copy that comes out of Alsco. We just want consistency, and a platform from which we can just make changes, rather than having to pass things around a hundred times.
I get to make a book! Or a manual... whatever. At any rate, this greatly pleases me.
